On Friday, Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani took the stage during the concert given by the British group Coldplay in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to sing in Farsi "Baraye", the song by Shervin Hajipour that has become the anthem of Iranian youth which has been fighting since the death of Masha Amini for her freedom.
Iranian pop singer Shervin Hajipour, 25, who was revealed in the Iranian equivalent of “The Voice”, composed a song called “Baraye” (“For” or “Because of” in Persian) at the end of September. For the video that accompanied his anthem, he had compiled tweets about protesters' demands . This earned him the wrath of the authorities and his arrest on September 29. Indicted by the Iranian courts in particular for "incitement to rebellion", he is now prohibited from leaving Iran.
